I've used both a PCI Combo 10/100 Intel card and an Onboard Intel 10mb card.
I'm going to build a completely new box with a 3com nic.

Try replacing the NIC card with a different model, or from a different
manufacturer. Then you will know if it is a specific NIC card problem or
not. Try using a different pci slot. What NIC are you using? What
motherboard? What does ifconfig -a show?

I've switched out cables, moved it to a different port on the switch and
I
have disabled any kind of wake-on lan, apci, powersaving or anything,
yet it
still does this =( Does ANYONE have ANY idea what I should do?

I used to have the same problem with FreeBSD and OpenBSD boxes I used.
after 30-60 min, the system stop responding for any incoming traffic.
No error message recorded (/var/log/messages or anywhere).
I fixed the problem by playing around with the ethernet cable (and
ethernet
port on the switch - we use cheap netgear 8 port switch). Somehow after
changing the ethernet cable + changing the port on the switch, it works
without any problem.
You might want to try to use another ethernet cable. I have no idea
why/how,
but it does work on me.
Good luck,
